Italian Vogue Goes All Black

The industry is all a-buzz about Vogue Italia's upcoming issue featuring all black models photographer by Steven Meisel. With the industry being blasted for the lack of non-white models on the runways and advertising campaigns of late I'm so interested how this will be played in the media. Living in such a wonderfully diverse city such as Toronto, I would have preferred there to have been an "all ethnics" issue to truly drive the issue forward, rather than focusing on one ethnicity, but this is one giant, bold step and for that I hope this opens the industry's eyes to include all the beautiful people in this world of ours.
